Re: Removal from City of Kent Continuous Testing Eligibility List
Dear Bo,
This letter is to notify you that after reviewing the background portion of the selection
process, the Police department has decided not to consider you further for employment
with this agency. Your name has been removed from our Continuous Testing Eligibility
Lists for the positions of Experienced/Lateral Corrections Officer effective March 30, 2018,
Our Civil Service Rules prohibit a person who has failed to pass any portion of an
examination process to be re-examined for the same or a higher grade of service within six
months of said failure. Per this rule, you will also be removed from the eligibility list for
position of Entry Level Police Officer as well as that position is a higher grade of service
than the position of Corrections Officer. Pursuant to Civil Service Rule 16.05, you may
appeal this decision to the Civil Service Commission within ten (10) working days.
We hope that you will apply for future Civil Service positions that meet your experience
and education requirements. The Job Line number is (253) 856-5272 and our website
address is www.kentwa.gov . Please check them periodically for future open competitive
examinations. Thank you for considering the city of Kent for employment.
